JACK'S MANNEQUIN LYRICS - Miss Delaney

"Miss Delaney"



Finally, I'm letting go

Of all my downer thoughts

In no time there'll be

One less sad robot

Looking for a chance to be

Something more than just metal

Now I'm going part time

With a film projectionist

And she's the vinyl queen

From my surfer dream

She likes the beach boys

More than radio metal

And she's so good

But, she's no good for me



Oh, Miss Delaney

What's the matter?

You waited by the window

(You waited by the window)

I waited by the door

Oh, Miss Delaney

Where's your boyfriend?

He isn't up in heaven, so

Why treat him like he's dead



It's not that everyday

Everyday is coming up

With the green grass

But the times pass, when

I think of you

Whenever I'm at dinner



Finally

I've found someone to dull this lonely scene

I don't spend my nights searching for earthquakes (oh)

It's biblical how fucked my sleep can be

But she won't sleep with me



Oh, Miss Delaney

What's the matter?

You waited by the window

I waited by the door

Oh, Miss Delaney

Where's your boyfriend?

He isn't up in heaven, so

Why treat him like he's dead

Like he's dead, like he's dead



From here you can find everything

Arin, I

Would never lie to you



Oh, Miss Delaney (Miss Delaney)

Whatcha sad for?

You waited by the window

And I was kicking down your door

Oh, Miss Delaney

Where's your boyfriend?

(Where's your boyfriend)

He isn't up in heaven, so

Why treat him like he's dead



Oh, Miss Delaney
